Does it really have a powerful impact on our lives, on our health, on our community, and on our society? We have solid research on the impact of the arts on the economy. In the Arts Impact Alberta 2014 study, the Al- berta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) found that “the total To have your Family profiled (Story and output of the sector is roughly $347 million”.

It seems the arts do improve our society. But what about us, personally? A recent study from The Univer- sity of Western Australia has found that “participating in the arts for just two hours a week can improve mental health and wellbeing”. Participants surveyed were asked how they felt after the experience, and the respondents used descriptors like “optimistic”, “useful”, “relaxed”, and “good about myself”. One of the study’s co-authors con- cluded: “arts engagement increases people’s happiness, confidence, and self-esteem, while reducing stress and social isolation”. City workers love our city, and we want the best for Calgary. Fortunately for us, Calgary is a great city to get out and And we want you to get the best value for your money.

LRT Grade Separation Study Phase One: Education & Issues Scoping Stakeholder Report Back: What we heard Winter 2017 Project overview The City of Calgary is conducting a functional planning study of 25 Avenue S.E. and the Red Line LRT tracks crossing. This study will develop a recommended grade separation plan for the Red Line LRT tracks and 25 Avenue S.E. It will also identify short-term improvements in the study area. The final recommended plan will improve travel through this area for people driving, walking, cycling and taking transit. Phase one engagement overview The Engage Spectrum level for phase one of our engagement for this project is Listen and Learn, which is defined as, “We will listen to stakeholders and learn about their plans, views, issues, concerns, expectations and ideas.” We will listen to and learn from the ideas and concerns of the community, as they relate to the study area. We will learn about community priorities, which will help us develop the evaluation criteria that will be used to assess options for grade separation and short-term improvements. The engagement events and tactics for phase one included: - An in-person open house held on Tuesday, February 28, from 5:00 – 8:00 pm at Repsol Sport Centre. 68 people attended the event. - An online survey was available from February 27 through March 13 at calgary.ca/25avestudy where 45 people provide responses. - The project team also participated in the Inglewood/ Ramsay Project coordination events on March 9 and 11, where we talked with 150 residents over the two nights.
